Staff was great and location was awesome. Uncomfortable beds especially the twin bed. It could have used more amenities like a couch, table, and/or desk. It was basically a bed, tv, and bathroom. Also a screen door would have been nice because I could keep the door closed without locking it.

Motel was located across a river you can walk to. They had a free Christmas trail of lights. Tracey was amazing she had great recommendations and a whole list of things to do and where to eat. The room was big and adorable, comfortable and clean. Didn’t get to use the bonfire but we will definitely be back!
